Presentation Transcript

/in /by

Context: Throughout this subject, you have been exposed to the various aspects of the strategic management process. Many theories have provided insight into how organisations analyse their environment and choose an appropriate strategy, implementing and evaluating it. One of the main challenges organisations face is communicating and aligning their strategy in a way that is understood by their employees. The purpose of this assessment is to overcome this challenge by selecting and researching an organisation of your choice. It may be private, public, or not-for-profit. It may be based in Australia or overseas. What is most important is that you can obtain information about its performance and strategy. You are then to assume the role of chief executive officer (CEO) of the organisation and prepare a 1-page summary of its strategy, called an infographic. Then, you are to write a transcript of  a verbal presentation that you would give to the organisation’s employees at its annual roadshow, which describes and brings the company’s strategy to life, in an inspiring and meaningful way.

Instructions: You are required to undertake this assessment in two parts

1) Prepare an Infographic  Infographics make information eye-catching, impactful and visually appealing, for communication to others. You are to prepare a 1-page infographic which explains your selected organisation’s strategy.  Your infographic should cover each of the following seven areas: o The vision and/or mission of the organisation. o A summary of its historic performance. o An evaluation of its internal and external environment. o A description of its key strategies and initiatives. o The implementation challenges ahead. o Measures of strategic success showing how the strategy will be evaluated. o References list.  The images, diagrams and text that you choose should be appealing and inspiring to your audience.  Don’t clutter the infographic with heaps of paragraphs and detail. Find ways of summarising the key points in a way that makes the infographic aesthetically pleasing. Then allow the presentation transcript to bring the infographic to life.  You should source information on the strategic management process from the various textbook chapters and readings in this subject. You may source information about your selected organisation from annual reports, websites and news articles, your own experience of being part of an organisation, or interviews with staff members, where appropriate.  Include references in the APA 6th edition referencing convention, where theories have informed the models, frameworks and information that you have used.  There are various web-based tools, complete with user instructions, which you may choose to use to create your infographic. Alternatively, you can produce an infographic in PowerPoint. Examples and templates may be found at the sites below. o https://www.canva.com/create/infographics/ o https://venngage.com/templates o http://www.presentermedia.com/powerpoint-templates/infographics.html o https://templates.office.com/en-us/Posters

2) Prepare a Presentation Transcript  You are to assume the role of the CEO of your selected organisation and write the transcript as if you were verbally presenting this in front of your employees.  You do not actually have to present your infographic in class. However, you are to write a 1250-word transcript using the style, tone and language that you would use, if you were verbally presenting it.  The aim of the written transcript is to bring the content of your infographic to life. This means that you should explain the strategic management process you went through and the logic for the organisation’s strategy.  Your presentation transcript should contain the following: o A welcome to your employees and an introduction of who you are. o A summary of the process you have gone through to produce the organisation’s strategy. o An engaging and succinct explanation of each part of the strategy that links to the 1- page infographic that you have produced. o A compelling conclusion that motivates your employees for the year ahead.  You do not need to reference the transcript. Instead, you need to write it in a style that inspires and informs your employees.  Please write the transcript in a word document.

Use the prompt each week to guide your heading titles and organize the content of your initial post under the appropriate headings. Remember to use scholarly research from peer-reviewed articles that is current. I have also attached my discussion rubric so you can see how to make full points. Please follow the instructions to get full credit for the discussion. I need this completed by 08/08/19 at 12pm. Discussion – Week 11Career Counseling with Clients with Disabilities Unfortunately, more often than not, people think of the limitations imposed by a person’s disability, rather than focusing on what the client can do. As a professional, it is important for you to accurately assess a client’s capabilities so that you can support him or her in achieving and sustaining employment.To prepare for this Discussion:

  • Review this week’s      Learning Resources focusing on the information regarding clients with      disabilities.
  • Select one of the      functional limitations described on pp. 444–451.
  • Consider what a functional      capacity evaluation and job analysis might mean/entail for a client with a      functional limitation in the area you have chosen to focus on.
  • Think about whether or not      each of the following vocational rehabilitation services might be      appropriate for this client: Work-Adjustment Training, Job-Seeking Skills      Training, Supported Employment, and Assistive Technology.

With these thoughts in mind: Post by Day 4 a description of a functional limitation and how it might impact a client’s career development. Explain what value a functional capacity evaluation and job analysis might hold for a client with this functional limitation. Then, describe how one of four vocational rehabilitation services—Work-Adjustment Training, Job-Seeking Skills Training, Supported Employment, Assistive Technology—might be utilized with this client depending on the evaluation and analysis.Be sure to support your postings and responses with specific references to the Learning Resources.Required Resources· Capuzzi, D., & Stauffer, M.

Evaluate at least three trends or recent approaches in compensation that SEIIC should consider in its redesign effort, including the pros and cons of each.

/in /by

SEIIC’s compensation and benefits programs are based on traditional design principles typical of a company of its age and history. For example, almost all employees receive annual pay increases of two to five percent. This is frustrating to both managers and high performing employees. Managers would like to give better pay raises to high performers. However, budgets are only enough to cover the “required” raises to all employees; this leaves too little for more significant raises to high performers. Naturally, as a result, high performers who feel underpaid often seek other employment. The company’s policies have tended to reward seniority rather than performance, and because of the job evaluation system, compensation is tightly compressed. Benefits are thought to be generous in that the company pays for most of the cost. However, the structure of the benefits is rigid and only includes such traditional benefits as health insurance, life insurance, and a 401(k) plan.

The company recognizes that things are changing in its business environment, the needs of its people are changing, and business is more global than in the past. As part of the ongoing analysis of trends that should influence the redesign of HRM in the company, what are the relevant trends in compensation and benefits to which the company should pay the most attention to develop the kind of employees it needs and retain its most valuable performers? To answer this question, address the prompts:

  • Evaluate at least three trends or recent approaches in compensation that SEIIC should consider in its redesign effort, including the pros and cons of each.
  • Evaluate at least three trends or recent approaches in benefits that SEIIC should consider in its redesign effort, including the pros and cons of each.
  • Assess other intrinsic and extrinsic motivators that SEIIC should consider in its redesign effort, including pros and cons of those motivators.
  • Using your evaluation in the previous three sections (compensation, benefits, and intrinsic/extrinsic motivators), justify an action plan to develop and retain valuable performers in the organization.
